I would prioritize an incremental path, such as containerizing a bounded service, introducing automated delivery and observability, and then extracting services where this delivers clear reliability or delivery benefits. I would measure success through deployment frequency, lead time, resilience, cost, and team adoption rather than treating migration as a purely infrastructure exercise. How would you help an established engineering team adopt AI-assisted coding tools without reducing code quality or security? I would first understand the team’s existing workflow and concerns, then introduce a small set of high-value use cases such as test generation, documentation, refactoring support, and code review preparation. I would establish guardrails for source-code handling, human review, testing, security scanning, and ownership of generated output. Adoption should be supported through demonstrations, pairing, feedback sessions, and measurable outcomes rather than a mandate alone. What is your approach to building CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices for a newly modernized application? I would create a repeatable pipeline that validates formatting, unit and integration tests, dependency and secret scanning, infrastructure changes, artifact creation, and controlled deployment promotion. I would use infrastructure as code to keep environments consistent and implement observability, rollback procedures, and least-privilege access from the outset. The pipeline should be simple enough for the embedded team to operate and improve independently. How do you influence technical direction when you are embedded with a team but do not have formal management authority? I build credibility by listening carefully, contributing directly to meaningful problems, and making trade-offs transparent. I use evidence from the team’s pain points, delivery data, prototypes, and operational risks to propose incremental improvements. I also involve team members in decisions, document rationale, and ensure knowledge transfer so recommendations feel collaborative rather than imposed. How would you handle a complex integration blocker during an application re-platforming initiative? I would clarify the failure mode, map the system boundaries and dependencies, and gather evidence through logs, traces, contract tests, and stakeholder discussions. I would identify a safe short-term mitigation while designing a durable solution, such as an anti-corruption layer, asynchronous event flow, or revised API contract. Throughout the process, I would communicate risks, ownership, timelines, and validation criteria clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Opportunity details ## About this role.

The FDE will be temporarily embedded within delivery teams to directly drive the modernization of key applications, ensuring technical success, accelerated adoption of AI-assisted SDLC practices, and lasting upskilling of team members. This is a high-impact, hybrid role requiring advanced software engineering skills, deep knowledge of cloud-native patterns, and proven expertise in consultation, change management, and building strong rapport with diverse teams. ### Key Responsibilities * Application Modernization Execution: Embed with application teams to provide hands-on technical leadership, driving the design, development, and delivery of modernization efforts (re-platforming, microservices adoption) to AWS cloud-native architectures. * AI-First SDLC Adoption & Upskilling: Act as the subject matter expert on the AI Modernization Factory’s tools and processes (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code). Drive the adoption and change management necessary to embed AI-assisted software development practices into the team’s daily workflow. * Consultative Engineering & Change Management: Build trust and rapport with new, diverse teams quickly. Identify team-specific technical and process bottlenecks, recommending and implementing solutions, and effectively managing the people/process side of technical change. * Hands-on Software Development: Make significant code contributions, focusing on setting up architectural scaffolding, CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform), and solving complex, blocking integration challenges for the embedded team. * Feedback Loop: Serve as the primary feedback channel, relaying practical challenges, tool deficiencies, and necessary process adjustments back to the central Principal Engineer and Architect to continuously improve the factory’s capabilities. * Standards & Quality: Ensure embedded teams adhere to the central factory’s engineering standards, including Twelve-Factor App principles, DevSecOps practices, and high-quality coding standards. ### Required Qualifications & Experience * Experience: 5+ years of progressive experience in Software Engineering, with a focus on enterprise applications and application modernization. * Full Stack Proficiency: Strong hands-on experience across the full application stack (front-end, back-end, database, infrastructure). Expert proficiency in one or more modern technology languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript, C#, Java). * Cloud Native & IaC: Deep practical experience building and deploying scalable applications on AWS. Strong proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), specifically Terraform. * Consulting & Change Management: Proven ability to onboard rapidly, assess team dynamics and technical landscapes, influence technical direction without formal authority, and drive organizational/process change within established engineering teams. * DevSecOps & CI/CD: Hands-on mastery of setting up and optimizing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and integrating DevSecOps best practices. * Architectural Understanding: Solid understanding of modern architectural patterns (microservices, serverless, event-driven architecture) and the principles of Domain-Driven Design (DDD). * Communication & Interpersonal Skills: Exceptional communication, presentation, and listening skills. Ability to articulate complex technical issues and solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders effectively. ### Preferred Skills (A Plus) * Prior experience in a consulting, Staff Engineer, or Forward Deployed role, specifically focused on technical adoption or modernization. * Direct experience training or mentoring other software engineers in new technologies or methodologies. * Hands-on experience with modern UI frameworks like React, NextJS, or similar. * Experience utilizing AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) in a professional development environment. * Familiarity with containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) and serverless architectures (AWS Lambda).
